This makes me look forward to Monday mornings.

If you are interested issues related to driver-less cars, risk management for federal governments, or protecting retirement income, then this is the podcast for you. The SOA research insights podcast provides useful information regarding research in both my field and related fields, as well as other interesting topics. It is a great way to start my work week.

Good for students

I’m a student and while I don’t understand all the technical details, I particularly enjoy when they discuss the potential futures for actuarial science. Also, I’ll be attending the 2018 SOA Annual Meeting so I might get a chance to meet some of these people.
